Does anyone know how far you have to live from the job to be entitled to lodge allowance on a blue book site?
 
36 miles rings a bell with me.you still find crawling ***** trying to give local addresses just to get the job---even though they are ******* up a hard fought for right,and playing into the scumbag contractors and agencys hands.
 
maximum travel is anything over 35 miles in a staraight line on an ordanance surveymap unless there is a natural barrier such as a bridge over a river. to be eligable for lodge is determind by the employer. if you go to njceci.co.uk you can download a copy of the blue book.

i got that a bit wrong, lodge is paid when you are working on a site that is too far away for daily travel, providing you can prove your home address, there is also a form you can download from the same website.

(a) Notes for applicants
Please read the following notes carefully before completing the application overleaf:
(i) To be eligible for an accommodation allowance under the NAECI employees must have been required by
their employer to work at a place outside normal daily travelling distance from their permanent home,
such that employees must in fact reside in temporary accommodation away from their permanent home
address.
(ii) In order to establish your eligibility for accommodation allowance without deduction of income tax to the
satisfaction of HM Revenue & Customs, your employer must be assured by you that your home address is
a place where you have continuing financial commitments.
(iii) You will be taxed on accommodation allowance payments which relate to nights on which you have
neither occupied nor paid for lodgings. It is therefore your responsibility to inform your employer when
these circumstances apply. However, you will not be liable for tax in respect of nights of absence from
your lodgings if such absence results in no reduction in the weekly payments which you make for those
lodgings.
(iv) You must therefore complete the following declaration and may be required to complete a further
declaration in the event of being transferred to another place of work.
(v) You may also have to produce suitable documentary evidence in support of the declaration. Any
employee who feels they have just cause to question why their accommodation allowance is subject to
the deduction of income tax should raise the matter with their employer and if necessary with the local
office of HM Revenue & Customs which will be pleased to assist.
(vi) You should realise that your overall allowances and tax situation are matters which are personal between
you and HM Revenue & Customs. Accordingly any personal conditions which may be dissimilar to those
covered by this application must be taken up personally with your tax inspector.
(b) Warning to applicants
If you make a false declaration or fail to notify any change in your circumstances affecting the claim you have made
below you may be prosecuted. You may also become liable to pay additional tax. In your own interest you must
therefore notify the site office immediately of any changes in your circumstances.
Please use appropriate form(s).
